Hector interviews a YeIIow.iacket

sad tragedy was narrowly averted at
tue White House this morning. Hector.
as is usual since his release, was frisking
abont the grounds, swapping at flies, and
enjoying himself promiscuously. He had
just dismissed an aristocratic pug, with
green ribbons on his tail, with whom he
had been exchanging salutations, and had
thrown himself athwart the asphalt walk,
to have good roll, and return thanks that
he is not as other dogs are. While he Law
absorbed in thought, the first spring yellow
jacket came buzzing along, and stopped TO
toy with his nose. Hector gave over
his reveries until some other time, and fell
to interviewing the yellow jacket on
the second term. But he had never
heard about Scylla and Charybdis, and so.
while he kept dilligent guard over his nose,
10 prevent any undue intimacy or en-
croachments on the part of his new ac-
quaintance, he was unconscious OF the
danger that approached from another d.
rection. Turning suddenly from the street.
gentleman entered the gateway on a
bicycle, and glided swiftly up the walk.
He weighed $50 pounds, and had pre-
vious record of having ridden his bicycle
through two herds of swine with great
slaughter. Closer and closer he came. A
collision meant an SYNONYMOUS death to
Hector and that there would be collision
seemed inevitable.
Suddenly, You Hectah ~ called out a
number of male and female voices from
the White House in concert. He heard it 4;
but he needed not. His thoughts were
with his nose.
You, Hecta-ah-ah-ah Come, Hec.
Come pupn' screamed the voices.
But Hec" didn't come. Without any
premonition, the Yellow jacket touched the
spring that sets the painful machinery of
his business end in motion, and cut the
interview short. Hector jumped to his
feet with a yell like a Commanche Just as
the bicycle was upon him. As he looked
and saw his new danger, he rushed to the
house howling-like mad. Medical AID was
quickly summoned. A surgical operation
was necessary TO extract the sting, and
Hector was put to bed a sadder and a wiser

CHICAGO. June 3d-John p. Irish, editor
of the Alta California, is in town. An
afternoon paper has had long interview
with him, and says: He has been making
big success, both in a journalistic and
financial way in California, and looks as

Prosperous, at present and prospect

plus wheat. The irrigation question WAS
settled by the last Legislature. There is
now lawful way of acquiring water for

IHE WHEAT MARKET.
Great Excitement Among the Specu-
lators at the Bay Yesterday.
lSan Francisco Post June Cd

1reht Excitement Among the Specu-
lators at the Bay Yesterday.
[San Francisco Post, June Sd
There was great excitement in wheat
circles to-day. The combination having
the speculative market under control
threw bombshell into the ranks of the
bears. Yesterday demand was made
upon those who sold buyer the year con-
tracts short for 10000 tons of the actual
grain, and the option was given
these sellers to settle for cash.
in case they did not have the grain,
at price to be fixed by the
big pool. The price of the call Board spot
wheat-that is. wheat piled up in lO0-ton
lots in the call Board warehouses-was
81 IS Yesterday. This morning spot wheat
was advanced by the pool TO 81 10 in the
| most abrupt manner. OF course, all those
who were called upon. and who did not
have the SimoB-pure grain to deliver, had
to settle at that price.
For several hours a long string of de-
spondent short sellers filed mp into Mr..
Dresbachs office on California street to
make their settlement. There was wall
ing and guashing of teeth among the bears,
but they had no alternative but to settle.
And settle they did. 1t is reported that
several severe losses were eutsiled. The
prices OF other options were pushed 10 as
well. Buyer June wheat was also ad-
vanced to 81 10. Any farmer who is able
to thrash out wheat this month and get it
into Call Board warehouse piled up in
lots of 100 tons each. could get 81 le per
Genital for it. The singular thing about the
rise was that il was not warranted by the
condiS:on of the distant markets. The
same quality OF California raised wheat
which she bears settled for 81 10 per GENITAL
to-day gas quoted in Liverpool-cost,
freight sad insurance added-2t 81 90 per
Genital.
Parties who are well inforsaed say that
between $1,000 and Go 009 tors more will

POET AND ACTOR.
A Jealous Fellow Ends His Career by IA
Double Tragedy.


PHILADELPHIA, June 3d-Robert G. Hall
shot and killed Mrs. Lillian Rivers this
morning. The couple were living as man
and wife, under the name of Barton. Mrs
Rivers was the wife of James w. Rivers.
an actor known in the profession as James
Reynolds. A remarkable coincidence of
the present tragedy was the attempt of
Rivers to take Mrs. Rivers life on April
18th for keeping company with the man
Hall, whe to-day succeeded in doing what
Rivers attempted two months ago.
After shooting Mrs. Rivers, Hall cut her
throat and then his own, and is now lying
at the point of death. Hall is a poet and
actor, but has not been very successful in
either prof ,ssion. Jealousy is probably
the motive for the tragedy.
LATER-Hail left letter TO the Coroner
asking that his father, who resides in St.
Louis, be notified. The letter is dated May
18th, and states that he takes the life of
himself and wife Mrs Rivers because of
the latter's faithlessness. When Hall found
that his efforts to take his life were un-
availing, he tore the flesh from the wound
with his hands. AT the hospital this after
noon the physician entertained very little
hope of his recovery.

Rights Of the Central Pacific Confirmed
as to Granted Lands.
Copyright, 1857, by 1le California associated Pres
SALT LAKE, June 3d.-The ejectment case
involving the title of the Central Pacific
Railroad Company TO lands granted by
Congress terminated yesterday in the Court
at Ogden in favor of that company. The
Judge charged that the Acts of Congress
were valid, and under them the legal title
passed to the grantee upon the filing of the
map OF definite location. This is the first
judicial utterance in Utah on this question
and will doubtless do much toward giving
peace to the owners of lands originally
granted to the company.

A Ripple from an Earthquake Breaker
Over in Nevada
Reports received by telegraph up to last
night show that lively shocks of earth
quakes were experienced generally through
out California shortly before three o'clock
yesterday morning, " from the Sierras to
the sea-" and as far south as Yosemite
Valley. In each locality heard from in the
State the shocks were of about the same
seyerity-su1ficient to awaken most people
f:om their slumbers, but doing no damage
Reports from Nevada indicate that the
center of the shock was in the vicinity of
Genoa.]
THE SHOCK IL NEVADA.
CARSON, June 3d.-The earthquake shock
at PAS this morning woke everybody up
and the streets were filled with people
Pictures and plaster fell in houses. a large
amount of plaster fell in the Supreme
Courtroom in the Capitol building. Sew
eral stone and brick buildings were badly
cracked. Shultz' stone market was the
worst damaged of all.

The most damage TO any private house

deal of glassware and crockery was broken.
The nature of the shock was rotary.
VIRGINIA, June 3d.-A severe shock of
earthquake visited this locality at 2:47 this
morning, which lasted thirty seconds. The
vibrations were from east to west, and it set
several buildings to moving. The sensa-
ton produced was similar to that expert
enced by the earth upheaving suddenly
and striking some object more bulky and
solid than ITSELF causing It to yibrate and
tremble People rushed from their houses
into the streets, and in few minutes after
the shock C street was thronged. The bell
at the Corporation house was rung. In
upper stories mantle and bureau ornaments
were hurled to the floor.
Miners coming off shift over the Divide
or working in the Gold Hill mines say
they plainly saw buildings vibrating. The
earth seemed to be moving from their feet.
Others claim to have been affected with
nassau, similar to seasickness. Miners
underground distinctly felt the shock and
observed the timbering of the drifts NOV
ing thirteen hundred feet below the sur
face. 1t is stated. however, that the shock
was not felt ON the fifteen-hundred
feet levels. The shock underground was
felt more perceptibly close to the
shafts than in the drifts. This is
the first earthquake ever felt by miners in
the underground workings. The miners
working on the ], 300 level in the 0phir
were holsted to the surface, as they eur
missed that there had been terrific explo-
sion at some point in the mine.

disturbance has resulted in driving up the
